History

Settlements on the territory of today Miyada are occupied since the Heian period. Through the area led the Tosando, one of the old highways of Japan, which originated in the territory inns for travelers. During the Edo period, the area of Miyada to Takato -han belonged and was at the " Salt Road " ( shio no michi ) mentioned trade route.

The village Miyada was founded by the merger of two settlements on 23 January 1875. With the establishment of the municipal system of the Meiji period on April 1, 1889, it was converted into a municipal authority.

During major municipal restructuring the mid-1950s (Showa - daigappei ) Miyada was revalued on January 1, 1954 to Machi. The then current major reorganization saw, however, that in principle every community in the country should be combined with at least one other. It talks with representatives of the communities Akaho, Nakazawa and Ina were performed on a Zusammenlagung. On February 12, 1954, the municipal council of Miyada finally decided to merge with Akaho, Nakazawa and Ina for the newly established city Komagane. But shortly after this decision, there were violent demonstrations against the merger. On 16 February 1954, the signing of the agreement to merge the four municipalities involved took place. After violent riots in Miyada the council of Miyada decided in its meeting of February 24, 1954, however, no longer wanting to participate in the merger. Since the contract was signed, however, already, have the other three communities, which were for the merger, also must vote against the merger. Through the mediation of the Governor of Nagano, the compromise was found that Miyada first was to take part in the merger, but then after the merger by Council decision should be separated from the new town.

On July 1, 1954 Miyada was pooled together with Akaho, Nakazawa and Ina to the city Komagane. The request for the fastest possible spin-off of Miyada was not granted against the agreed compromise on the city council. Thereafter, the City Council Members from Miyada boycotted the city council meetings and also the greatest part of the inhabitants of the district Miyada boycotted all of the following local elections. End of 1955, a plebiscite on a new application for spin-off of Miyada was carried out under renewed mediation of the Governor of Nagano in the district Miyada. The majority of the population of the district was for the spin-off. The City Council of Komagane held this time at the agreement and voted for a spin-off of the district Miyada. On September 30, 1956 Miyada was spun off from Komagane and established as a separate municipality again. Renewed attempts Miyada reintegrate into a larger community, have failed because of resistance from the population.
